Jeff’s Humphrey-Lindsay Preview:

Oakland-Craig (25-4) takes on Humphrey-Lindsay (26-3) in the EHC Semifinals at Lyons-Decatur Northeast on Saturday. The Bulldogs won 2-0 at home over Howells-Dodge in the Tournament on Thursday. O-C beat Humphrey-Lindsay 3-1 in Humphrey on September 17th. First serve is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.

Jeff’s Take on the Match:

This should be a good, competitive match. I do think the Knights will win and advance to the Championship. An Oakland-Craig/Clarkson/Leigh Championship would be an incredible and amazing match, and it could very well happen. The Knights have been lights out and rock solid all year long, and the Bulldogs have struggled against O-C and Clarkson/Leigh as their other two losses are to the Patriots.
